A Time for a Survey, A Time for Assessment

Throughout our educational careers the utilization of gathering information and dissemination of data is a constant. Today’s post focuses on how we can survey and and assess. Even though there is a plethora of resources out there for teachers and school staff to use, I will narrow my focus to Google Forms.

A Time to Survey:

Gathering student interests

Registration forms to sign up for an event, professional development, or volunteering

Bonus Time Google Form Add-ons:

An add on is represented with a puzzle piece icon in the three dots menu

Here you can select tools that will perform tasks that generally people who program or script can do… simply do some work for you. Here are a couple Add Ons that I have used in the past, what they are, and how they have helped.

Choice Eliminator 2: eliminates options from multiple choice, list, or check box type questions. This helps when I have created limited seating sessions for professional development and school wide student activities.

Form Ranger: allows you to auto populate multiple choice, lists, checkbox, and grid options from columns listed in a spreadsheet. This helps if you have a long list of names or choices and you do not want to enter them into your Google Form.
